In Forex I don't care about short or long. So you graph 'Average holding time (short/long)' should be switchable to 'Average holding time (winner/looser)'. Then we would be able to see if we stick too long on loosing trades and on which pairs

But on the other hand, having a losing trade long time is not necessary a bad thing if it goes according to trading plan. Like lets say somebody has a system with stop loss of 100 and aiming for > +600 winners. Then, even if the price gives this trader a negative floating result long time it does not matter because it is still going totally according to trading plan.

I do agree with your initial suggestion that holding time is better, but just saying that holding negative trade does not necessary mean bad.

HIGH RISK WARNING: Foreign exchange trading carries a high level of risk that may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage creates additional risk and loss exposure. Before you decide to
trade foreign exchange, carefully consider your investment objectives, experience level, and risk tolerance. You could lose some or all of your initial investment; do not invest money that you
cannot afford to lose. Educate yourself on the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial or tax advisor if you have any questions.
